| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to empirically measure the relative effectiveness of CALL vocabulary learning apps which include images, and those which include L2, on the acquisition and retention of target vocabulary items. The results showed that participants achieved significantly higher Immediate Vocabulary Gains using the Image app compared to the control app. However, the immediate gain results suggest that there was no significant difference between using the KWIC app, or the L2 definition app, and the control app. Also, the delayed results show no significant difference in vocabulary gain between any of the experimental apps and the control app. Only the app based on images had significantly more effect on improving vocabulary gains compared to the control treatment, and that this effect was not retained until the delayed post-test.
